Azure Pipelines Configuration File Disclosure

What is the "Azure Pipelines Configuration File Disclosure?"

The "Azure Pipelines Configuration File Disclosure" module is designed to detect misconfigurations in Azure Pipelines configuration files. Azure Pipelines is a cloud-based software development platform provided by Microsoft. This module focuses on identifying vulnerabilities related to the exposure of sensitive information in the configuration files.

This module has a medium severity level, indicating that the identified misconfigurations could potentially lead to security risks if not addressed.

Impact

The exposure of Azure Pipelines configuration files can have various impacts, including:

- Unauthorized access to sensitive information - Potential leakage of credentials or API keys - Increased risk of unauthorized code execution

It is crucial to address these misconfigurations promptly to mitigate potential security breaches and protect the integrity of the Azure Pipelines environment.

How the module works?

The "Azure Pipelines Configuration File Disclosure" module works by sending HTTP requests to specific paths commonly used for Azure Pipelines configuration files. It then applies matching conditions to identify potential misconfigurations.

For example, the module checks if the response contains specific keywords such as "trigger:", "pool:", and "variables:". Additionally, it verifies that the HTTP response status is 200, indicating a successful request.

By analyzing the responses and matching conditions, the module can determine if there are any misconfigurations in the Azure Pipelines configuration files.

It is important to note that this module does not modify or interact with the target system directly. It solely focuses on detecting potential misconfigurations and vulnerabilities.
